“You can not have 100 percent and 100 percent safety privacy”: President Obama goes to the criticism of the monitoring programs of the intelligence on the offensive. The extent of the affair is still unclear. Not only American agents had apparently access to the data of Internet companies like Facebook, Google or Yahoo.
“No one listens to phone calls from”: U.S. President Barack Obama seeks affair in monitoring to limit the damage and defend the action vigorously. “You can not be 100 percent and 100 percent security and privacy have zero inconvenience,” he said. The secret look at the numbers and duration of calls, “but they do not look at the names of the people and content.”
Sifting the “metadata” should help identify potential terrorists. When the Secret Service, however, would listen to the contents of calls, he needed the court decision of a judge.
He had taken office with a healthy dose of skepticism about such monitoring systems, Obama said. Now, however, had changed his mind: The programs would prevent terrorist attacks and provide protection measures over which no American should worry about. The President stressed that the programs were approved by Congress and renewed repeatedly since 2006 with bipartisan approval.
Not onlyAmerican agents had apparently access to the data within the program received prism of Internet companies like Facebook, Google, Yahoo or Microsoft, the U.S. military intelligence NSA. The British equivalent of the NSA, GCHQ, apparently got access to the data, which collected the Americans, reports the Guardian .

from documents available to the London paper shows that GCHQ since at least June 2010 had access to the data. Last year intelligence provided from the material in 197 intelligence reports had been included. The Guardian will now ask you which British ministers knew of the program.
This Friday it was revealed that the American NSA and the FBI may directly access data on the server of Internet companies like Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, Apple, Youtube, Skype, AOL and PalTalk. So that they could monitor the Internet presence of users and track their e-mails, videos, photos and data connection. The intelligence community could “see how you think typing” media quoted the informant, who is said to have passed the corresponding secret presentation file.
The NSA has responded to the public outcry and announced to want to share “certain limited information,” reports the Financial Times . This is done only to correct the “numerous inaccuracies” in media reports said the National Intelligence Director James Clapper. Without context, the leaked information would result in a distorted picture of how the program worked.
Link tip: The logo of the Prism program is funny, find colleagues in Guardian: “What does a top secret surveillance program need, aside from the ability to spy on virtually every Internet- user, and the sense not to mention it to anyone If you answered: ‘a really freaky logo’, there may be a job for you at the National Security Agency “.
